The Power of No

When was the last time you said ‘no’? Not, I don’t think so, or maybe, or let me think about it – but a full-throated ‘NO’? How often do you agree to do things you don’t want to do? Most of us – especially those who don’t wield traditional modes of power or wield less of it – often find ourselves landing on okay or sure instead.

The Power of No releases us from our white-knuckled grip on agreeability. In this eclectic and empowering book, Anna Holmes explores why it’s difficult to utter that two-letter word. Playfully tracing how ‘no’ shapes our lives, Holmes shows how, if exercised properly, it can radically change our world.

Equal parts heartfelt meditation and fiery manifesto, The Power of No is a call to embrace the invigorating truth that ‘no’ is a complete sentence.
